#378 PHOTOWALK: SHHHHH, I’M HIDING BEHIND THE SOFA FROM AI
Is ai really coming to get us? Maybe not yet. Maybe not at all. This week is a show about the majesty of music, the beauty of emotion, the tactile nature of bookmaking, finding your why, celebrating our mistakes, just being human. We hear from Paul Gotts and John Ash who believe in giving a voice to unpublished photographers and Extra Miler Lynn Fraser who is part of their new project called Littoral. Letters to the show about rekindling a love for photography post-pandemic, why the moon seems to be sharper and more detailed on some smartphones, and the realisation that your why may be a lot closer to home than you think. There are stories on chasing the moon's shadow from a 737 and finding dust in your wonderfully soft-centred eye.
Email your stories, thoughts and pictures to the show. If you can optimize/resize photos to 2,500 pixels wide, that’s always much appreciated. If you’d like to support this show and have access to further content and the midweek Extra Mile show, we’d welcome you as an EXTRA MILER. There’s also our thriving Facebook group, a safe place to meet and talk with photographers of all interests, plus the show is featured on Instagram, VERO and Twitter.
As well as our Extra Milers, we’re also supported by our incredible friends at MPB.com who have believed in this show from the get-go; the number one platform in the UK, US and Europe (with bases in Brighton, Brooklyn and Berlin) when it comes to buying, trading or selling quality used kit online. They help us as photographers to tell our unique stories by providing a safe place to buy, trade and sell the kit we need and in doing so, we become a part of the sustainable circular economy. With guarantees upon kit purchased, buy used, spend less and get more at MPB.com.
